Just received word that new vulnerabilities exist for Quicktime which can cause infection by simply browsing a website. Don’t let the mitigating circumstances fool you. With the huge number of websites break ins and subsequent iframe injections the chances of a site infecting you is significantly high. An attacker simply doesn’t need to “entice a user” anymore.
